Chapter 707 Sebastian’s Past

The six Chosen Ones, with their cumulative efforts, cleared two rounds and were now resting as well as waiting for the third round to start.

The first round was an extremely dangerous dungeon and the second round was to find a forbidden fruit located in the heart of a chain of islands.

Things were difficult and the six were getting drained not only physically, but also mentally.

Monsters, traps, quests, challenges, these kept coming one after another, testing their perseverance as well as teamwork.

When monsters appeared, it would be Tsuki who would first try to talk and make peace with them. She had some unknown gift that let her talk to any creature she wanted.

To some extent she could even talk to plants.

If talking didn't work, Sebastian would go and try to tame the monster.

He was a beast tamer as well as a great leader. He would accumulate beasts during the start of the rounds and use them as sacrifices or cannon fodders.

If Sebastian's taming also didn't work, it would usually be Iki who would go and try to finish the monster in one slash of his powerful katana.

Iki, by all means, was a cold-blooded samurai who didn't bat an eye to killing anything.

Lith was sure that even if there was a small child in front of him, Iki wouldn't hesitate to cut his head off if needed.

Of course, Iki was usually the last resort in all things and the first thing these guys did was ensure if things could be resolved peacefully.

This way, they conserved a lot of their energy.

Next, when it came to traps, Ariel was the one with the greatest wisdom among the six.

With her help, it was easy to crack down traps and pass through them.

As for Lith, as he was an all rounder, he had mastery in almost everything.

He could tame beasts if he wanted, he could solve traps if he wanted, he couldn't communicate with creatures like Tsuki, but he could understand their body language and take appropriate measures.

Like Anne, he also had necromancy powers. His proficiency was almost on Anne's level, if not, then just slightly worse.

He also possessed a mastery in swords and it was a level above Iki's.

Lith hadn't shown his sword skills yet so Iki wasn't aware of it.

However, he had a hunch that Lith may really know it too.

Lith didn't even try to do anything special yet his all rounded skills made him really likeable by all.

With his great communication skills, Lith talked to the others and learnt a bit about them during the break.

Anne, Ariel, and Iki didn't talk much or give out info about themselves but Sebastian and Tsuki did.

As mentioned before, everyone was broken here except Lith.

Sebastian shared a small memory of his with Lith and it was about how his house burnt down and his parents died in the fire.

The vivid picture in Sebastian's mind was shared with and there, Lith could see the small crying Sebastian.

Sebastian was so depressed this time that he had thoughts to jump into the fire and end himself.

However, a puppy came to him at this time and comforted him.

From that day onwards, Sebastian and the puppy roamed around in search of food and shelter.

Sebastian grew up and so did the puppy. They became really close and just interacting with it, he started learning how to communicate with animals.

Eventually, Sebastian got into a conflict and in this, the puppy was killed by the enemies.

It broke Sebastian's heart again and made him realize just how powerless he was.

The enemies took advantage of his weakness and attacked him, bringing him on the verge of death.

In this dying moment, Sebastian, instead of feeling cold and numb, felt himself to be in the warm embrace of his mother.

He was in a small hut, his mother was hugging him because Sebastian had just caught a fish and she was proud of him.

Sebastian's father was laughing at the back and preparing to cook the fish.

Times were peaceful and relaxed. 𝑵𝑂𝑣𝗲𝓵𝓊𝚜𝑩.𝔠𝗈𝗆

Sebastian was getting absorbed into this and his life was slowly passing away.

However, the entire scene crashed as the house burnt down and his parents were caught into the fire.

Sebastian got a shock with the sudden change in scene, and once it was over, he saw a muscular tall tanned lady wearing tiger skin.

Her appearance was rough and she was carrying a whip while smoking a cigar.

This lady was the one who saved Sebastian in his dying moments and also trained him to be a beast tamer.

Why she did that? It was because she found potential within Sebastian once she saw him tame animals.

She had been watching him for a long time and could see that he gave his all while fighting a bunch of mortals, despite not knowing anything.

She was the one who ended up showing Sebastian a path where he could find the warmth he so craved for.

Sebastian was yet to find that but that was pretty much his story.

He didn't share a lot of information about him and hid some bits, but he did share some info to Lith.

It was because Lith seemed like someone who could bring warmth bright aura.

in his coldest and darkest times.

Sebastian didn't know if Lith possessed the warmth he was looking for, but Lith's happy aura was contagious and made him stick to him.

Tsuki's case was also similar and she stuck to Lith because of his bright aura.

She too had a tragic story and it was even more worse than Sebastian's.

However, she couldn't share it with Lith or even mention it as the six were teleported away as the third round began.

The third round was once again something they could only finish as a team.

They were turned into prisoners who were on their way to get hanged because of their crimes.

Their task in this round was to topple the monarchy and stabilize the mighty Haverian Kingdom.
